How Monty and Kelly have helped a 2-legged friend!

Thank you Kelly. My OH and I went to the Demo at Hadlow College last Saturday. Whilst I have loved horses all my life (although since having kids I have not been around them much) my partner was pretty nervous about the whole idea. Watching the great Monty Roberts and Kelly work their magic has transformed my partner's opinion. As he said, 'horses are not scary, they are scared. If I can be calm and confident that they will trust me then there is no need for me to be scared'. He now is desperate to learn more, begin riding and hopefully move towards the day when we will own a horse of our own, which is more than I could ever have hoped from one evening. I am so completely chuffed that what is a passion for me can now hopefully be extended to my partner, 7yr old daughter and 4 yr old son. Thanks guys....;o)) xxxx

Wow, I think I should try that on my OH!
Good luck that he continues thinking that way

Thanks licey...we are going away (sans kids!!) for a weekend away and he asked if we could go riding! I said 'no' incase it's not a good yard, (don't want his first experience to be anything but positive) but agreed that we will go to a local stables and have some lessons together. When he suggested it I almost fell of the chair!!!!! lol!x
